Liverpool's Landlord Licensing Scheme
Apply for a Landlord Licence
Licences are not transferable. If the licence holder needs to be changed, a new application must be made and paid for. As licences run for a maximum of five years, property owners should give careful consideration to the person designated as licence holder.
1. Apply for a 'fit and proper person' check
First, you will need to apply for a 'fit and proper person' check.

A separate licence application must be submitted for each property with the initial £200 fee - we cannot process applications without a payment. Find out more about fees.
